&gt; Mankind will not get rid of its evils until either the class of those who 
philosophize in truth and rectitude reach political power or those most powerful 
in cities, under some divine dispensation, really get to philosophizing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Perfect wisdom has four parts: Wisdom, the principle of doing things aright; 
Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private; Fortitude, 
the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it; Temperance, the principle 
of subduing desires and living moderately.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to 
say something.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge 
which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The beginning is the most important part of the work.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The only thing worse than suffering an injustice is committing an injustice.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Man is a tame or civilized animal; nevertheless, he requires proper 
instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most 
divine and most civilized; but if he be insufficiently or ill-educated he is the 
most savage of earthly creatures.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; You are so young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even 
reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting 
yourself up as judge of the highest matters.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but 
to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, 
another which makes, and a third which imitates them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Never discourage anyone&gt;. who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of 
conversation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; People have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into 
greatness&gt;. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he 
first appears he is a protector.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Excess generally causes reaction, and produces a change in the opposite 
direction, whether it be in the seasons, or in individuals, or in governments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Wealth is the parent of luxury and indolence, and poverty of meanness and 
viciousness, and both of discontent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end 
up being governed by your inferiors.</span></p>

&gt; He was a wise man who invented God.</span></p>

&gt; Of all the animals, the boy is the most unmanageable.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will 
never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Philosophy is the highest music.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight 
to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of 
life is when men are afraid of the light.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people 
will find a way around the laws.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Not one of them, who took up in his youth with this opinion that there are no 
Gods, ever continued until old age faithful to his conviction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt;&nbsp; Life must be lived as play.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Necessity is the mother of invention.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external 
possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be 
rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or 
endure.</span></p>
